Alpha globulin

Schematic representation of a protein electrophoresis gel

Alpha globulins are a group of globular proteins in plasma^[1] that are highly mobile in alkaline or electrically charged solutions. They inhibit certain blood proteases and show significant inhibitor activity.

Examples

Alpha 1 globulins

Alpha 2 globulins
